MAORI MUTE SPEAKS
EFFECT OF A THRILL “MIRACLE” AT RUGBY MATCH Press Association. WANGANUI, Friday.

While watching a game between Wanganui and Wainui, a Rua subunion, his excitement became so intense that he suddenly gave a yell, to the amazement of himself and his companions at finding his speech recovered. He talked rapidly in Maori, and startled his relatives and friends so much that they thought he was bewitched of the devil.
